That Mark Fidrych video sure was something else. I've never seen anyone give such a raw interview like him either. He did the interview with no shoes on. I wish there was more players like him now. It's also kinda cool that Bob Euecker gave the interview too.

Speaking of Fidrych, in my 50+ years of following baseball I have never seen anything like what Fidrych did in 76. Look at the crowds he drew in the summer of 76, home and away. This was on a tiger team that wasnt in the hunt all year. It was truly amazing. This was not a guy chasing a cherished baseball record either.

Yeah they were even talking about the crowds in the interview. I wish there was a Harry Carey interview with him now. I've always heard stories and watched short clips on him but that game was probably the most entertaining game I ever saw. I can understand now why so many people wanted to see him pitch. I don't think he was some phony trying to sell to a fanbase either, he seemed like a genuine kinda guy who didn't know how entertaining he was.

I think this guy set up another account in case the first one gets taken down. The other account includes a 1979 game with the Yankees at Old Comiskey, with Harry and Jimmy doing commentary. Unbelievable find:

The 1979 game is Thurman Munson's last game before he died in a plane crash. It wasn't televised live in New York, but the Yankees got the tape of the White Sox WSNS telecast and showed it in New York a few days later. (Coincidentally, it's also Don Kessinger's last game as Six player/manager. He resigned the next day and was replaced by a young unknown minor league manager named Tony LaRussa.)

Just discovered these games this past month, though they've apparently been uploaded for longer than they've been recognized. Recently watched the end of the '05 World Series just to feel good about our boys again. Someday again. Someday.

I was watching that earlier and what I thought was interesting was at some point Harry said that the broadcast could not be retransmitted without "the express written permission of the Chicago American League ball club," not MLB.
